Benefits of GradeQuick
Teacher-friendly, rich in features, honed by years of experience
GradeQuick eases the support burden on school IT staff because it is so
intuitive and easy for teachers, incorporating years of feedback from
thousands of schools through multiple product life cycles. While providing
the flexibility schools need, GradeQuick always gives you the choice of
setting options school wide or letting teachers choose their own. Benefits
include:
- Flexible grading options to accommodate any
school's grading system and any teacher's preferences—skills-based,
letter grades or numerical. Customizable weighting, grading symbols,
grade scales, attendance codes and other options meet every personal or
school requirement.
- Integration with Edline's Interactive Classroom™ features
saves time for teachers. Students can take online tests that are
automatically scored and entered into the gradebook.
- Rapid design of progress reports, GradeQuick’s
widely-acclaimed, unique report editor enables teachers to print reports
on-the-fly without needing help from the IT staff.
- Desktop-like GUI performance.
With GradeQuick Web, IT personnel receive all of the deployment, data
management and version control benefits of a web-based system. At the
same time, teachers benefit from a special plug-in that provides a
desktop-quality interface with the speed and responsiveness teachers
need. The GradeQuick Web plug-in runs (and auto-updates) seamlessly
through the browser and requires no IT administration.
- Lesson planning capabilities. With the GradeQuick
lesson planner, teachers can easily plan, view, and print lesson plans.
Teachers can consolidate curriculum, content and resources and save them
in their gradebook. They can also build standards-based lesson plans and
print out detailed weekly and plan reports.
- Round-Trip Attendance. Teachers can take attendance
that is then sent to the school SIS, and
schools can automatically update the teacher gradebook with changes made
in the office or SIS.
- Traditional and Standards-based grading and reporting.
StandardsBuilder is fully integrated with GradeQuick, ensuring that
every student in your district shows adequate yearly progress.
StandardsBuilder comes pre-loaded with your school districts particular
state standards and provides you with the flexibility to add other
standards.
Turnkey
Integration with student information systems
GradeQuick offer seamless, turnkey integration with more than 140 student
information systems or school databases through our LiveLink module.
- Automated data exchange LiveLink's automated import
eliminates the tedious chore of typing class rosters and student
information into GradeQuick. It automatically updates gradebook files as
rosters and student information change. LiveLink's automated export of
grades and attendance back to the SIS saves
schools valuable time and money.
Anywhere
Access - always in sync, always current, always secure
Edline GradeQuick provides powerful functionality to ensure that current
secure data is available to all school stakeholders.

teachers work at multiple sites within a school district or simply want
the convenience of home use, Gradequick Web always brings up the most
current gradebook data from any computer on the internet. No more
worries about file version control.
- Always in sync. As soon as schedules are updated
from your student information system, the next time a teacher logs into
GradeQuick Web—even in a separate building or at home—that roster change
will be reflected in the teacher’s gradebook.

can be deployed in a simple, turnkey implementation that even a small
school with limited resources can quickly use and manage. Yet our

software version consistency at multiple sites. All teachers,

ensure nothing is ever lost. Teachers have the ability to view
or restore gradebook data from any location with an internet

anywhere to current information about their children's performance, and

This means that all relevant information about student performance from
multiple sources can be available. This data might include not only
GradeQuick information, but also data from other systems such as

the stakeholders of a learning community—parents, students, teachers and
administrators.

university admissions.
- Take control over your reports. Whether printing
reports or posting them to Edline, GradeQuick offers schools the ability
to give teachers the freedom to modify the content, style, and layout of
progress reports without burdening IT personnel. With a convenient
WYSIWYG interface, the reports can be quickly
modified to present information in the manner most meaningful to each
teacher, or administrators can lock down and standardize reports
school-wide.

graphic visual aids that can more effectively communicate student
progress. Create full color reports and graphs to illustrate a student's
progress. Graph grade distributions for the final semester average or
any grading period, category or assignment.

SiteReporter. Site Reporter can replicate a current report card
design, or create a completely new report card to fit a school's
individual needs.
- Track school performance. GradeQuick's data and
analytics capabilities give administrators immediate feedback on the
performance of their students and the school itself. Edline's
SiteReporter module reads GradeQuick's up-to-date classroom information
and generates report cards, honor rolls, eligibility lists, attendance
reports and custom reports based on almost any set of criteria.
